It has been said before that when doing development on the 360 first then working on PS3, it turns out subpar. If dev starts on PS3 first then by the time a 360 version is made it is on par with each other.

So to benefit multiplatform development, PS3 should be lead as it will only serve to make the game equal on both platforms.

To add to this, it has to do with the way the 360 has the memory available to it. PS3 has seperate memory for video and system ram. If a game is made using the unified structure of the 360 (first) it then needs to be recompiled to work in a split memory system of the PS3. That isnt an issue for either platform if the game is made with the PS3 memory system in mind from the beginning.

I think I remember reading devs saying it is easier for the 360 to emulate the memory system of the PS3 than it is the other way around. Someone please elaborate on this for me.

So it's easier to duplicate the application made for the PS3 versus duplicating the process of the XBox 360? And yet the PS3 is the better system? (so they say) I have YET to see anything that the XBox 360 can't handle on it's system better.

Funny part is this is getting alot of news, and we all know this game ain't going to sell all that well if hardly at all. Its just fan boy bait that means nothing! Sounds more like desperate mud sling to me!

If you work on a weaker machine first, you can port the game to other console easily. If you work on a more powerful machine, when you porting the game to other weaker console, you will have to cut down effects.

Didn't we already know it's easier to port from PS3>360 than the other way around? A lot of devs have started doing PS3 first because of that. I'm not sure when they started doing it that way, but I think it was sometime in the last year when the majority switched over.

Doing PS3 first makes a smaller disparity between the games. From the developer/consumer POV, that's 2 games that are good, or one good game and one game plagued with bugs/performance issues.

Remember Virtua Fighter 5 , used to be a Ps3 exclusive RIGHT????
Why is this game looking better on Xbox360 than Ps3?

And "Devil May Cry 4" used to be a Ps3 Exclusive (remember first trailers) It looks sharper and less-aliased on Xbox360 right???

And REMEMBER THE OPPOSITE WAY
LOST PLANET (X360 exclusive TO PS3)
Worse Textures, Worse Effects, Antialiasing is WORSE
any MANY MORE AWFUL THINGS.

GOT OWNED????
I'm not thinking so...

The games usually look better when theres been more development time on the game, I find it funny how you forgot to mention OBLIVION, which turned out better on the ps3....because the devs had longer to work on it. I own a 360 to btw (since launchg)...(uk).I see that the fanboys are slowly starting to creep into the gamer zone, not good.

When people say that developing for console A or console B is better or not people either disagree and try to convince themselves that the developers are wrong. I know both consoles have their pros and cons, but at the end of the day if the developers make a great game on either console thats the only thing that matters to me.

Cheers

I don't see the reason behind any of this. All games and I mean ALL games have to be coded, worked and developed on the PC. Its not like they devs sit around coding with a PS3. They take a benchmark of the PS3's performance on the PC and then develop the title.

How about this.

Nvidia is happy.

Why because cpu's arent getting much faster, just adding more and more cores.

Nvidia knows that gpu is the future.

Nvidia and intel arguing.

Reason i point this out.

Over a certain rez on pc, does not matter if you have dual or quad.

Once the res is high enough, the graphics card is bottlenecked.

PS3 on the other hand is a good design, because it's different.

As said, 360 is done and dusted. Nothing more to see, i'm not saying it can't produce sweet graphics.

But ps3 is unknown.

I shouldn't say this really.

But once you see Resistance 2 in action, you'll forgot 360 pretty quickly.:)

How did this dup story get posted once more?.

We already know Sony has weight with this game etc. Sony's pay check plays a huge part in this guy's opinion.

We all know the PS3 will hold the 360 version back some how.

Why must PS3 Gamers be dumbed down to match the 360 hardware?

whats crazy is how you sony guys have really drank the sony coolaid!! most game last gen was built on the PS2 for 2 reasons, the PS2 had this biggest userbase an the PS2 was the weaker system. developers KNEW if they built a game on the PS2 they wouldnt have any problems porting that game over to the gamecube an xbox 1, WHY? because they were both MORE POWERFUL than the PS2. sony fooled so many developers with the HYPE about how much POWER the PS3 had that developers were using the 360 as lead because they felt there wouldnt be any problems with porting 360 games to a more powerful PS3. but guess what.. they found out the truth an MANY are starting to put the PS3 first then port to the 360 because you get better results. so how is it that the 360 can handle PS3 ports but the PS3 cant handle 360 ports but the PS3 SUPPOSIDLY is more powerful!!

last thing, somebody said its easier to TAKE AWAY when building a game than it is to ADD. is that so!! how come most multiplat games last gen looked better on the xbox that were lead developed on the PS2. developers ADDED more to the game. MORE texture, MORE lighting, MORE AA, they didnt take away so with that being said your logic on that is flawed!!

how am i confused, just like you said the PS2 had a lot of theoretical power, which was NEVER seen, games got better on the PS2 but not to the level of what sony PROMISED. is it not true that games that were built on the harder to code PS2 were ported to the xbox 1 an gamecube with better results. all GTA games were BUILT on the PS2 but the xbox 1 versions always LOOKED better. madden was the same way. Madden was built on the PS2 but the xbox an gamecube versions LOOKED better. thats all im saying. developers could build a game for the weaker system then port it to the more powerful system with more performance!! turn up a few feature, add more shadows, a little better lighting, cleaner textures. but thats not whats happening with 360 to PS3 ports. developers cant ADD to games developed on the 360 then ported to the PS3, most of those games are LACKING, no AA, worse framrates, lesser texture detail. but the CAN ADD to PS3 games thats ported to the 360. VF5 was built on SEGA's arcade board that closely resembles the PS3 but still the 360 version LOOKS better.

GTA4 was built on the 360 then PORTED to the PS3 but in order for it to perform at the same level as the 360 version the game had to be downgraded,the main reason for the delay(my opinion) no AA, a lower resolution, but they added a BLUR on the game to help cover up the lack of AA which still turned out good for the PS3 version because the game still looks good!! now if the 360 version was 640p an had no AA then I would say the PS3 is the most powerful but thats not the case, an dont forget sony sent some of the BEST CODERS to rockstar to help an the best they could get is 640p an no AA, so whats the excuse, rockstar dont know how to code the PS3, THEY HAD HELP!!

DMC4 also had that same BLUR effect to cover up the fact of no AA or a lesser level of AA because the 360 version definitly had better looking textures.

i like this, we can DISCUSE systems with different views an never insult each other an have a good DEBATE. I only have 3 bubbles because I prefer the 360 an you guys know it but I also own a PS3 an because I feel the way I do they take my bubbles, read my history i NEVER BASH the PS3, I just dont think its more powerful than the 360 atleast not like sony said, an I think we both can agree on that but anyway...

you think that the PS3 is winning graphically in the exclusive department!! well.... thats all a matter of preference so I cant say your wrong. uncharted looks great as a whole but no 1 things stands out as WOW!! the character models look good but not as detailed as a gears character. the environments look great, the water effects are awesome, an the characters models are pretty good, so when you put it all together uncharted looks awesome. what game has character models thats more detailed than the gears guys. an that from a year plus ago!! also how many devs have the luxury of a deep pocket like sony backing them. how much doest it cost to make the PS3 REALLY outperform the 360(if it can) with the GT5 prologue demo it makes me think that they need a little more money to help with the development because they exceeded there original budget, so what better way to make extra cash than to SELL A DEMO!! the money devs spend on developing games, if they were making it back then ninja theory an factor five both would have stayed PS3 exclusive!!

an no the PS3 version isnt silky smooth, havent you seen the reports. oh from rockstar
